Re: Can anyone get me this research report?

[Guest guest]

I just accessed the journal online and downloaded the paper.

Unfortunately, the full paper is not available. It's merely an

abstract from a conference. As far as I can tell, the full paper has

not been publsihed anywhere.

You could try writing to the author and asking for a copy of his

paper or a copy of his presentation.

For what it's worth, here's the abstract:

ABSTRACT

Until recently, intervention research for young children with autism

has been strongly criticized because of the paucity of well

controlled comparative studies and particularly the lack of

randomized control trials (RCT's). Over the last decade, however,

there has been a steady improvement of the quality of research in

this area. RCT's, although still relatively rare, have increased in

number, and have been used to examine the effectiveness of a range of

different treatment approaches, including parent management style;

early, intensive behavioural interventions; social communication,

joint attention and play programmes, and augmentative communication

systems. Well controlled trials, involving closely matched groups of

children have also added to our knowledge of treatment effects. The

present paper will focus on a series of recent studies, utilizing

both randomized and matched case-control comparison designs. Overall,

group results indicate moderate, but encouraging improvements for

children involved in each of these interventions. However, at an

individual child level, outcome is much more variable, with some

children in each programme showing considerable change, others only

minor improvements and some showing no improvement, or even

deterioration over time. Identification of the children who respond

most to specific types of intervention remains a major challenge for

research in this field in the future.

Well, this should be interesting when we get he results. She came out

in 2006 complaining about TEACCH, saying no efficacy.
